With packaging aesthetics, differentiation and sustainability more important than ever, Virospack says it has responded to “the strong market demand in recent years for a high-quality metallized finish for cosmetics.” The Spain-based company’s metallization section offers two automatic metallization lines with a production capacity of 40 million pieces per year—and has now announced a new sputtering line to this section, which will provide “greater technical benefits to the process.”
The new sputtering line, designed especially for Virospack, enables them to make coatings with a "metallic effect" with high abrasion resistance as well as high chemical resistance. In addition to these characteristics of hardness and abrasion resistance, it allows them a greater variety of decorations when applied on the surface of high-quality consumer goods.
Further, Virospack says this high vacuum sputtering is the cleanest of all coating techniques and reduces waste generation, and so is “a more sustainable and economically efficient production method that generates the most subtle and uniform coating possible.”
